Most asteroids are located in the asteroid belt which is just between Mars and Jupiter's orbit. Here, there are thousands of them. Some are also found in Jupiter's orbit, these are called Trojan asteroids. Finally, there are a few near the Earth which are called Apollo asteroids. An asteroid is made up of rock and metal, and are basically remnants of the earliest years of the formation of the solar system (roughly about 4 billion years ago).
Asteroids are mainly found in the asteroid belt which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Some are also found around the gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) as small moons. Many objects in the Kuiper belt can be classified as asteroids. Some asteroids are found in the orbit of Jupiter 120 degrees ahead and behind the planet.
Asteroids are minor planets located in the inner and outer solar systems. Some scientists theorize these are the remnants of Planetesimals, planets that were within the Sunâ??s nebula and never grew large enough to become planets. Many of these asteroids lie within the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Usually or often found in the asteroid belt.
Asteroids are found all over the solar system. The vast majority is located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

A solar system is a group of heavenly bodies (planets, moons, asteroids, etc.) orbiting a star (a sun.)
The Sun and the asteroids.
The solar system was formed from the interstellar gases and from remnants of a past supernova as evidenced by the presence of metals with atomic numbers higher than iron. These elements can only be formed in a supernova.
Asteroids are found in the sky. The majority of asteroids are found in the inner Solar System.
Yes, asteroids are found in our solar system. It is estimated that over 100,000 asteroids are located in the belt between Jupiter and Mars.
Asteroids are are big rocks floating in space. alot of asteroids can be found in the asteroid belt
Where are most asteroids in the solar system located
Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt just out past Mars or in the Kuiper belt which is out past all the planets. Although, rogue asteroids can be found literally anywhere in the solar system.
Most of the asteroids within our solar system are found within the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
More asteroids by far. Our solar system contains millions of asteroids but only one star: the sun.
Asteroids are found throughout the solar system, most of them reside between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt.
There are asteroids, meteoroids and comets.
Yes
No. The asteroids can be seen as leftovers from the formation of the solar system.
yes, asteroids are part of our solar system there in the asteroid belt which seperates the inner part from the outer part.
